RFR (XXL): 8223347: Integration of Vector API (Incubator): AArch64 backend changes

[Yang Zhang]

Hi,

Following up on review requests of API [0], Java implementation and
test [1], General Hotspot changes[2] for Vector API and x86 backend
changes [3]. Here's a request for review of AArch64 backend changes
required for supporting the Vector API:

JEP: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/338
JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223347
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~yzhang/vectorapi/vectorapi.rfr/aarch64_webrev/webrev.01/

Complete implementation resides in vector-unstable branch of panama/dev
repository [4].

Looking forward to your feedback.
Best Regards,
Yang
